Guide to Gift Giving
Custom Gifts. Big Reactions.
Because basic just isn’t your vibe.
We’ve all done it — that last-minute panic scroll, desperately trying to find a gift that says “I know you” without actually saying, “I got this from the servo on the way here.”
And hey, sometimes socks and a scented candle will just about do the job. But when you want to show up with something that actually means something? That’s where custom gifts shine.
There’s a reason people light up when they unwrap something made just for them. It’s not just about the item — it’s about the thought, the moment, and that split-second where they go, “Wait… this is me.”
💡 Why go custom?
Because no one ever cried happy tears over a mass-produced mug that says “World’s best Uncle.”
Custom gifts are better because they actually mean something.
It’s not just a thing — it’s their thing.
Want to be the favourite sibling? Slap your sister’s weird catchphrase onto a keyring.
Make Mum tear up? Get her morning coffee delivered in a travel mug engraved with your kid’s artwork.
Turn your partner into putty? Personalise a keepsake that makes them go, “Wait… how did you get this made?”
Personalised gifts = effort.
Effort = thought.
Thought = legendary gift-giver status unlocked.
💝 What makes Deep Cuts & Layers gifts different?
They’re not churned out in a factory. They’re made right here, by someone who genuinely gives a sh*t. Someone who designs, tweaks, tests, and occasionally swears at the printer when it misbehaves (hi, it’s me).
These gifts don’t sit in a cupboard collecting dust. They’re made to be used, loved & shown off.
Some of the best reactions I’ve heard?
- “My sister actually cried. She said it’s the nicest thing anyone’s ever given her. I felt like a legend.”
- “He literally said, ‘I don’t even care what’s in the box — this keyring is everything.’”
- “My kid’s face when she saw her own drawing on my mug? Melted me. 11/10 would recommend.”
- “She said, ‘How the f**k did you get this made?’ and now I’m the favourite sibling.”
- The parent who nearly cried over a pet keyring.
- The friend who laughed out loud at a cheeky drinkware engraving.
- The kid who couldn’t believe their drawing was now a thing.
Big reactions. Real emotions.
That’s what you get when a gift feels personal.
🎁 So what now?
Next time you're stuck for what to buy?
Don’t go generic. Go personal. Go custom.
Not sure what to get? Here’s where to start:
- For pet lovers – Personalised pet keyrings are always a win. Cute, small, and surprisingly emotional.
- For parents – Their child’s drawing engraved on something useful (mug, keyring, serving board). Big feelings guaranteed.
- For partners – Something simple but meaningful, like matching keyrings or a drink holder with a private joke.
- For teachers – A personalised tag or keyring that feels thoughtful but isn’t “just another mug.”
- For tradies – Engraved stubby holders, cable organisers, custom Clipsal dollies, or a “drive safe” keyring that hits them right in the feelings (and looks good on their keys).
- For the person who has everything – A bit of custom chaos. I’ve got stuff you didn’t even know existed (and yes, I take requests).
